The question I posed was this:

​

Show us in any of today's good Bible translations "where God's salvation in Christ Jesus has been altered from the manuscripts from which they have been translated?"

​

If you want to stumble over the jots and tittles, that is your choice. The Bible is God's love letter to those He is calling to Himself, offering us salvation in Christ Jesus, and fellowship with Him in eternity.

​

Show us how any of today's good Bible translations do not proclaim this?

Translation:
I haven't got a clue what God's plan of salvation in Christ Jesus is.

I was addressing the concern that some at this forum have regarding changes in the Bibles we have today that may differ from the original manuscripts, and how all of today's good translations of the Bible clearly present God's plan of salvation in Christ Jesus."Is the bible authoritive and truly inspired?"Truly inspired? An emphatic YES! Try answering some of the questions God posed to Job?Authoritive? An emphatic YES! Try violating God's moral laws and see how well your life goes?

Hebrew and Greek Bible manuscripts in existence today verify that God's plan of salvation in Christ Jesus is clearly presented in the good Bible translations we have today. Your problem is that you don't accept the original Hebrew and Greek Bible manuscripts as being God inspired any more than you accept how they were translated into various languages for the world to read. Regardless of what language the Bible is translated into, God draws those to Himself such as are being saved (Acts 2:27).As for "stories about Jesus seem to have changed and evolved over time," He declares this:

"Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades." (Rev 1:17-18)

---

It's not the different plans of salvation in Christ Jesus which have resulted in so many different Christian denominations.It's more about the many different denominations emphasizing different truths about how to live godly in Christ Jesus.

They have not gotten to the end of life's journey yet, nor have they faced the final judgment.As for adultry, ask Tiger how well it went for him?

You will have all the evidence you want when you meet the One who speaks from Rev 1:17-18.

Yes, the truth of Prov 28:13 caught up with Tiger,"He who covers his sins will not prosper."Maybe he and others should take heed to the rest of the verse."But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. " Edited by AdminPD, : Warning

I hope you are as confident that it will never happen as I am confident that the Lord Jesus has "the keys of death and of Hades." Edited by AdminPD, : Warning

How do you explain the fact that there is not even one universal Canon?

---

Let's assume for a moment there was "one universal Cannon (Bible)." In order for everyone since New Testament times to be able to read this Bible, either everyone would have be able to read the Bible in this one universal Bible language, or this one universal Bible would have to be translated into the thousands of world languages.But God did not choose to reveal Himself to man in this way. God chose to reveal Himself to about 39 different writers in both the OT & NT, all leading to God's plan of salvation for man in Christ Jesus. The OT was written in Hebrew, and the NT in Greek.Since one universal language is not practical, Bible missionaries/translators have been taking the primary message of God's plan of salvation for man in Christ Jesus to the world's people for the last 2000 years. There are about 6900+ spoken languages in the world, with about 2000+ that have no portion of the Bible.You may disagree with the purpose and process of Christians doing this, or if they have done this accurately, that is your choice.But the only truth you will have to answer for is this:What did you do with God's plan of salvation in Christ Jesus that was offered to you?

And the Bible is sending the message about which truths to emphasize. They're getting different messages, which makes the Bible a pretty unreliable source.

---

The Bible does no such thing. The Bible is God's "whole counsel" on how God has chosen to reveal Himself to man, and how man can come into right relationship with Him through the Lord Jesus Christ. There will be only one denomination that will live with God forever, those that have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

That's even worse than what I said. If only one denomination is getting The Right Answer out of the Bible, then the Bible is even more unreliable than I thought. (What denomination would that be, anyway?)

---

It's the denomination of all Believers down through the ages that have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, both OT saints who looked forward to the coming Messiah and NT saints who look back to His death, burial, resurrection and exaltation to the right hand of God the Father.

ringo writes,

"That's not a denomination. By definition, a denomination is a subset, a group that gets a specific message from the Bible. Since all of those groups get a different message, my point stands and you seem to be evading it."

---

The denomination/group of people that will live with God forever are these people, and here is our message:And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals ; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God ; and they will reign upon the earth." (Rev 5:9-10)
